Regular Season Round 20: Pistoia - Puglia 79-82

Date: January 4, 2026
A very close game took place in Pistoia between Puglia and Pistoia. Nineteenth ranked Puglia (6-14) got a very close victory on the road over 18th ranked Pistoia (6-14). Puglia managed to escape with a 3-point win 82-79 in the fight for the seventeenth place. Puglia shot the lights out from three sinking 12 long-distance shots on high 57.1 percentage. The winners were led by American forward Pierre Brooks II (198-2002, college: Butler) who scored that evening 28 points and naturalized Argentinian guard Bernardo Musso (193-1986, agency: Interperformances) supported him with 15 points. Even a double-double of 16 points and 11 rebounds (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field) by the former international forward Simone Zanotti (208-1992) did not help to save the game for Pistoia. American point guard Jazz Johnson (178-1996, college: Nevada) added 18 points and 4 assists for the hosts. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Puglia moved-up to seventeenth place, which they share with Pistoia and Forli. Pistoia lost fifth consecutive game. Puglia will meet at home higher ranked Pesaro (#3) in the next round and they do not belong to the favorites in that game. Pistoia will play against Avellino (#9) and hope to secure a win.
